Wow… I so wish I could anonymously send that Technolawyer article to a few people I know!!!!

@TechnoLawyer How to make Partner

Every lawyer knows that the best way to do that is to win insane tort cases like this and get a huge cut of the damage award for your firm: http://lawblog.legalmatch.com/2010/10/29/4-year-old-child-can-be-sued-for-negligence-in-bike-accident/

My guess is that you are not a lawyer, and as such, never took first year torts…. but alas I won’t feed the trolls…
